If you’re planning to undertake building work in Tasmania, you are required to hold a valid Builder Licence issued by the Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS), the state’s authority responsible for licensing and regulation in the building and construction sector.
The Builder Licence allows you to legally construct, renovate, repair, and maintain residential and commercial buildings throughout Tasmania. This licence is essential for anyone undertaking building work above the prescribed value threshold.
At National Licensing, we provide expert support to guide you through the licensing process, helping you to:
- Understand the eligibility criteria and licensing requirements set by the CBOS
- Prepare and gather all necessary supporting documentation
- Submit a complete and compliant application to the Tasmanian Building and Construction Industry Training Board
- Determine the correct licence class suitable for your building activities
Holding a valid Builder Licence ensures that you operate legally, meet industry standards, and build confidence with your clients across Tasmania.
